JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Austin Dillon has earned his second Trucks Series win of the season by holding off Kevin Harvick at Chicagoland Speedway.

Dillon took the lead in Friday night’s race during the final round of pit stops. He pulled out to a sizable advantage and was never challenged over the closing laps.

The victory snapped the run of four consecutive wins from Kevin Harvick Inc.-owned trucks.

Harvick finished second and KHI driver Nelson Piquet Jr. was third. Parker Kligerman was fourth, followed by Kyle Busch, Johnny Sauter and Matt Crafton.

The top 10 was rounded out by Miguel Paludo, Cole Whitt and Ron Hornaday Jr.

Harvick and Hornaday had combined to win the last four races.
